But if it suits yourinstallation better the engine can function safely in any orientation which suits your installation, but you will findstarting is quickest and easiest with the recommended positioning.

If the thermocoupleneeds attention please refer to nearest Service Agent or direct to Xicoy Electronica SL as the engine case requiresopening to access it.The engine starter is a high quality high speed brushless unit. The power driver for this is part of the ECU. It should gowithout saying you cannot replace this with anything else. You also cannot power the starter separately beyond usingthe “starter test” function. The starter is accessible and in the unlikely event of attention can be easily replaced. Thesmall clutch fitted to the starter motor has a small O-ring which may wear in service. It is easily replaced if required.Please note that the accessories used for this engine use the simple 3-wire servo type cable connection. This includesthe fuel pump, display, sensors, telemetry adapters etc. In all cases the third wire (usually orange or white) is a digitalsignal line so DC power should not be applied to this line or attempts made to read the voltage on this line for fault-finding purposes.Please refer to the Xicoy office for guidance in the first instance in event of any issue.Engine SpecificationsEngine diameter 60mm / 2.35”Length 160mm / 6.3”Engine weight 398g / 14ozTotal installed weight 760g/16.5ozNominal thrust at sea level 45N / 10lbs (continuously derateable to 20N / 4.5lbs)Idle thrust 1.8N / 0.4lbsMax rpm 225,000 |
